[robyn]

Here's the color palette for the August Color Challenge. I hope that you like it and will enjoy working with it.

The participation gift is this small mini kit.

The challenge is to make a small mini kit with the above colour palette. It need only be a couple of papers and a couple of elements, but you can do whatever you wish. Alternatively, if you don't feel comfortable with having a go at designing, you can create a layout using these colours.

Please post a thumbnail of your kit or layout here in this thread and link back to the gallery.

The Colour Challenge gallery is HERE (http://www.digitaldesignden.com/photopost/showgallery.php?cat=534).

If you would like to share your kit with other members you may choose to upload to a site like 4Shared or similar and put the download link under the gallery image. That is entirely up to you though!

The colors are great, Robyn, and so is your mini. It's been awhile since I've designed anything, but I'm in!

[Karen]

Wonderful colours Robyn and I'll be having a go - when I get my thinking cap back [grinning]

[robyn]

I've changed the 'rules' as in thinking about it, I've realised that not everybody is comfortable with having a go at designing.

If you prefer, you can create a layout using these colours.

[Cathy]

I am no designer, and now certain I don't want to be. My first and last

You gals are doing a fabulous job on your parts!!!

[7hump3r]

loving all these parts =)

[Maree]

more more :) These look fantastic

[cats4jan]

Grace and Karen - those look great. I'm working on my mini-kit, but so far, I have only a couple of things. It took me all day to make one BG and one frame. I made a ribbon and hate it, so it's trashed. :rofl2:

[Magnolia57]

Whew!! Finally finished my designs for this challenge and it only took me 3 days! But it was lots of fun and a good learning experience. However, I'm not taking up designing anytime soon - LOL!

Phyllis... I don't see links for downloading. Or am I missing something?

[robyn]

Sandy, it's in the gallery under the image in the first comment.

[Karen]

How are others setting up their downloading for the mini-kit? Are you using 4Shared or something like that?

Karen

[robyn]

For this challenge................if you wish to share, I'm asking for you to upload to a sharing site of your choice and put the download links under the gallery image.

I know that I packaged the clusters and sent them out and will do so for that challenge again next month, but I thought these might be a little bigger, as I do have a restriction on my monthly IP allowance.

Thanks.:)

[Karen]

Thanks Robyn, I'll get onto it straight away.

[sandy]

Sandy, it's in the gallery under the image in the first comment.

Man o Man - these are all so inspiring! I got back too late for August so I hope there will be another colour challenge for September. I love designing for the fun of it.
You guys are just soooooo talented!!

[Karen]

I think you can bank on that Jan,

Karen

[robyn]

I'm running the Colour Challenge and the Crazy Creative Cluster challenges on alternate months. I'll be doing the cluster challenge for September.

[robyn]

Thank you to everyone who participated in this colour challenge. It's been heartening to see so many great entries and so generously shared. You should all end up with quite a nice coordinated kit.

I have sent via PMs to you all the download link for my participation gift.

Hopefully I haven't missed anyone, but if I have, please send me a PM.

[Grace]

Robyn, thank you for the beautiful Color Challenge participation gift. Did you draw the flowers and swirl with Illustrator?

It was fun participating in the color challenge and I'm looking forward to the cluster challenge in September.

Hey, Robyn -
Don't we have until August 31 (USA Eastern time - LOL) to participate in this challenge? I thought I still had 2 more days!! I know I'm really late but I was planning on doing at least a layout so I don't miss out on your lovely participation gift!!

[Karen]

You do have a point Diane but I'll let Robyn answer this. It is early evening for Robyn, probably right on dinner time; I'm sure she will get back to either this evening (our time) or tomorrow morning (our time).

Hi Robyn - you can disregard the above message. I would love to do this challenge, but I just can't seem to get my head wrapped around the 'swatches' thing, even to do just a layout! And now that the deadline is practically here, it's even worse trying to rush to do it.

Karen's tut is very well written; I think I just have a mental block and no mojo right now!! Hope to be up to speed on this, come October when you do this challenge again! Thanks!

Diane, I know that you've created fabulous layouts during speed scraps. Why don't you do a fast layout using the mini kits in the color exchange?

[Traci]

What a great idea, Grace! You rock!
